Concrete and its various forms has over the decades been used to build magnificent structures that continue to astonish to date. The strength and versatility of concrete renders it useful for a wide range of construction projects such as bridges, dams, buildings and so much more. The human urge to build hasn’t lost momentum and certainly isn’t going to; at least not in the foreseeable future. In a way, cement is the “glue” that pieces and holds together the modern world.
Cement is comprised of mainly limestone whose basic chemical makeup is mostly Calcium carbonate. It is made by heating limestone alongside a few other select materials in a kiln. The temperatures in a kiln may reach up to 1450 degrees Celsius in a process known as calcination. Additional materials may be added to tweak the properties of the resulting cement such as strength profile and such. So what is the basic difference between concrete and cement? Both termed are mistakenly used interchangeably but are in truth two separate products.
Cement is a mineral powder that in principle hardens to bind together building materials while concrete is a mixture of several aggregates that include water, cement, sand and broken stone or gravel. Big difference, right? Ready mix cement is a recent advancement in building technology and is in fact a game changer. It is manufactured in a ready mix plant following a specific recipe that delivers the specific needs of the building project. It is delivered on site by a truck mounted with in-transit cement mixers.
